Conflicting info on drop technique and need help

Discussion

I am trying to learn proper technique to ride drops on tech trails. The videos I have watched have 2 different techniques.

  1. Stay tall, Hip shift back to bring the front wheel up. video: [fluidride] (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d20ISxtBAvg&pp=ygUPZmx1aWRyaWRlIGRyb3Bz)

  2. Hinge and get low and push bars forward

Which one would you recommend for blues/blacks tech trails?
